Caucasian League Attack Killed Ah Ling

On June 18, 1876, men said to belong to the Caucasian League set fire to a Chinese cabin near Truckee and shot at the occupants as they fled. The Sentinel reported that “one [Chinese man was] killed instantly,” another was seriously wounded, and “about forty shots are reported to have been fired.” A later editorial in the Sacramento Daily Union referred to the event as “the recent outrage upon Chinese at Truckee” and urged that the white perpetrators be punished.
